サン・マウロ・ア・シーニャにちなんで名付けられたサン・モロ・モレンは、フォッソ・マチンアンテとビセンツィオの合流点にあります。 この製粉所は17世紀に建てられたもので、かつてフォッソ・マチンアンテ沿いにあった多くの製粉所の唯一現存する例であり、保存状態は悪いものの、挽き込み機構やその他の建築的ディテールは依然として保存されています。 出典 Wikipedia

Harnessing the power of moving water to drive a waterwheel is an ancient invention, documented as far back as pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a device, a watercourse – whether natural or artificial – could easily replace human or animal muscle power to grind grain, for example. Watermills essentially use two different drive mechanisms: either the water simply strikes the paddles of the waterwheel from below to set it in motion; or the watercourse is channeled above the wheel and falls onto the paddles, with the latter design offering greater efficiency due to the natural force of gravity.

Huge park where you can walk for hours, just a stone's throw from the center of Florence

Piazza dei Guidi, designed by Mimmo Paladino in 2006, reorganizes the urban space with stone slabs arranged in a geometric grid. The surfaces are engraved with motifs typical of his artistic universe, recalling symbols and archetypes. The work seeks to create a dialogue between contemporary and traditional, transforming the square into a place of reflection and encounter, where everyday space also becomes an aesthetic experience.

In Piazza Guido Masi, beneath Vinci Castle, stands a wooden sculpture depicting the Vitruvian Man in three dimensions. It was created by Mario Ceroli in 1967, titled Squilibrio (Imbalance), and donated to the Municipality twenty years later. The work does not faithfully reproduce Leonardo's drawing: the figure is inserted into a cube and a sphere, but the proportions are not perfect. Ceroli thus sought to evoke the gap between the ideal harmony of the Renaissance and the uncertainty of the contemporary world.
